Good grades are usually awarded with a pat on the back or a trip to the nearest Sonic. Students who get good grades are almost always disappointed when that’s all they receive. This is why I believe schools should start paying students for straight A’s!
Paying students for good grades would encourage them to keep doing good in class. “When students are paid for good grades they learn that working hard and making good choices does have its rewards. They will try to make better grades in the hopes of earning more money,” says Debate.org.
If we follow through with this students will soon be able to buy important stuff including school supplies and materials for projects by themselves. They might actually start to go to school and not skip class. By not skipping class and paying attention they will start to do better in school so they can earn money too.
Students need to start learning how to use money responsibly. When the student gets paid their parents can then start teaching them the ways to properly spend their money. This will help the student get prepared for their future.
Teaching students to responsibly use their money will help them become more successful in life later on. Some schools have already started experimenting with different things. “Public schools across the country are experimenting with incentive programs. In urban districts and rural outposts, some schools reward students who earn higher test scores and grades.” says Great!Schools.org.
Giving money to students with good grades and that are in low-income families would encourage them stay in school.“…a rigorous new study found that the programs get results: cash incentives help low-income students stay in school and get better grades,” says TIME. If we paid them for their good grades they can then help their families by helping pay for their own stuff. The students would learn how to support themselves so they can be successful in the future.
Who knows, maybe we could help the person who discovers the cure for cancer get into college. We might even help fund the family of the person to make the first colony on Mars! This is why I believe students should get paid for having good grades.

i think that students should get paid for god grades becuase it gives them somthing to earn once they have accomplished a goal
I think this is a great idea. I think this because when i get paid for good grades it motavates me to do better in school . it also makes me wanna pay attention also when i dont get rewarded i feel like i work hard for nothing .
i think thats good
i think thats good
hey im online
I think that it’s a bad idea because there are some students who simply cannot do better such as kids who have mental and/or learning disorders.
BTW nice Yoshi shirt on you picture.
You are very sweet and awesome
i think they should not because they might cheat or get pressured knowing they will get rewarded.
Well, I think that getting paid for good grades is a great idea. I’m a fifth grader and when i get strait 4’s, I think I should be rewarded. Not to be spoiled or anything, but a trip to sonic is not what we deserve. A higher allowance would be ideal to some people and help them learn what being a grown up feels like.
I am having mixed opinions
no that is not a good idea because where would the money come from , teachers would get less pay, less money for field trips etc. , and more budget cuts for after school activities and or art and music classes
its good
It really encourages me to get my work done and get good grades.
I do think that students should receive cash awards for good grades, because it promotes their personalities, and helps them to realize that they can do things. Especially since they work so hard
You’re also right!
I think this is a great idea, students get paid for having good grades. Students will be motivated to succeed, and the truancy will decrease.
This is a great idea. Most kids don’t like school because they think it’s bit fun but really it’s becuase there’s no motivation. Some kids work their butt off trying to get a good grade and you know what they get? More work. Giving students money every time they get a good grade will help to motivate them. Therefore they will get good grades. Also it’s required by law for workers to get paid. Otherwise it’s slavery.
It makes teens work harder
WOW! I am so impressed. Thank you for this wonderful insight
ok cool
